The issue is alleged to have occurred in December 2008 and for several months Kamlomo has apparently been trying to get the side of the police to no avail.
"However, notwithstanding the delay, Kamlomo managed to interview the central region Police public relations officer, John Namalenga who claimed that they had investigated the issue and concluded that it was not true," the statement authored by MISA Malawi chairperson Brian Ligomeka says.
"We find the action by the police to be strange and an infringement on media violation and freedom of expression enshrined in the Constitution," says Ligomeka.
At the time of pursuing the story Kamlomo presented to the police for their comment recordings of the women who made the allegations and this is the act the police say have arrested him for.
"MISA Malawi is also appealing to the police to give Kamlomo fair and expedited trial by granting him bail as per the requirement of the laws of this country," says Ligomeka.
